That would require some interaction between the chemicals, that potentiates their effect. Or they act through common pathways.

But if the threshold effect is 1 microgram, and you're exposed to 1 picogram of 10 different chemicals all working through the same pathway, you're still below the threshold effect.



I think the idea was more if the threshold effect is 1 microgram and you're exposed to 100 picograms of 10 different chemicals.
